Coney Island Film Festival

Coney Island gets some love this weekend with the 13th annual Coney Island Film Festival. Beginning today and running through Sunday, the storied Brooklyn neighborhood will host a lineup of eccentric shorts and features about everything ranging from mermaids to past and current amusement-park rides. The most exciting thing? A screening of the cult classic and one of my favorite films, The Warriors, on Saturday night at 11PM ($12).

Full festival passes run at $50, with individual day screening passes available. Screenings are held at the legendary Sideshows by the Seashore theater, and tonight there will be live performances featuring sideshow & burlesque stars.
